OSTC Academy 

The OSTC Academy will give 30 candidates the opportunity to learn from our highly experienced trainers who will take you through the basics of order management, technical analysis, fundamental analysis, risk and all the important trading processes.

Over the 4 weeks, you will be given direct market access to our cutting-edge trading software and the world’s largest trading exchanges, CME and ICE.

This is an exciting opportunity to uncover your potential and see if you have what it takes to navigate the markets. We will expect you to grasp the fundamentals fairly quickly but turning theory into practice will be all that is required from you. The rest we will nurture.

The academy training will be delivered remotely from the comfort of your own home, and at the end of the 4 weeks, the top 15 candidates will be hired to work full-time (remotely) as Junior Financial Market Analysts for OSTC Markets.

Our trainers

You will be trained and mentored by our international team of coaches who have a combined 50 years of experience in financial markets.

Our team has been proven to deliver first-class trader training around the globe and look forward to sharing the opportunity financial markets bring with others.
